2018 Map of Hindu Canyon

About this map

Lake Mead National Recreation Area dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, where the high desert is carved into a series of profound geological formations. The eponymous Hindu Canyon sits at the center of a complex network of drainages, including Milkweed Canyon to the west and Spencer Canyon to the south. This terrain is defined by its water management features, critical in such an arid environment, with scattered catchments like Crozier Tank, Bender Tank, and Siple Tank providing vital points of reference across the sections. To the southeast, the land levels out into the broad Plain Tank Flat, accessed by the solitary Plain Tank Rd. The map illustrates a remote corner of Mohave County where the topography shifts from the sharp relief of Bridge Canyon to open flats, governed by the Public Land Survey System's township and range grid.
